Ed and Wayne:
I saw this bayo at the SOS in February and it is a very impressive piece for sure. Not a textbook item, but everything fit together and it displayed better than the pictures show.
John These are not my specialty, but if there are multiples of the same bayonet it would seem to me to be a sample of some kind with a "Your name here" sort of area etched onto the blade in addition to the ricasso marking (?). Possibly one that was sold to someone because the blued scabbard has the typical wear markings like those seen for example on service bayonets from different frogs. Of course that's not in hand and maybe it's just the imaging? Best Regards, Fred
